For those never "in" Scientology's Sea Org, they often have to do physical labor
like this, or way worse. Mark Headly told me about how David Misvavige ordered
ALL of the Sea Org to take buckets (with no face covers as here) and Scoop
up the football field or more of Crap (literally) that had over flowed.

Mark also said it was truly sick as he *could* have just rented a bulldozer
and had it done in half a day. As it was, it took days, and Mark has some
physical problem with breathing, now, because of inhaling those fumes.

Yeah, OTBT , that's the way it comes across from the snaps. If you look closely, it sure doesn't look like it is something that they would willingly choose to be doing. In two pics there is a sea orger/crew member who seems to be instructing them.
The way they are dressed would seem to indicate that they are not hired workers.
If they are the same people pictured in the dining area and in the other photos then they must be paying guests.

It doesn't make sense, in a normal world anyway.
But, then again, I guess the guests on the Freewinds forego some of their rights also. Gullible people being financially abused and made to work their passge also.

Maybe there is some other explanation; I hope there is ; if only not to see these peple as being demeaned.

These are paying public. Probably doing the "Competence and Leadership Convention" that the Freewinds offers. They have you do physical work and drills on the ship. Amazing that the cult can get its members to not only work for free but pay to work.

Alternate explanation, provided in the ESMB thread on this, a copy of a 2009 e-mail.

The Freewinds is currently mid an exciting historical and nautical restoration project in preparation for upcoming releases and we are giving Scientologists an opportunity to be a part of this!

FREEWINDS ON BOARD CONVENTION SCHEDULE

...

28 April - 12 May Leadership & Competence Convention

Floor ripping up photos posted earlier were taken on May 8, 2010

Here's some earlier promo for this, also leaked by Pooks in the same WWP thread

Also, here is a related thread, about a bunch of Taiwanese doing MEST work for a Freewinds Leadership & Competence workshop last
month. Some of the MEST work (physical labor) included doing some manual labor in the Freewinds engine room.

Just to be fair, in the broadest context of a 'church' and 'volunteers' this work party is not outside the norm, really. I mean, most real churches don't have their own cruise ships, but there are certainly times when half the congregation turns out to paint the building or put in new carpet...

However, you miss the point that these Scilons had to pay several thousand dollars apiece for the opportunity to "contribute" their time to this labor.

Plus, this looks to be a nasty clean-up. At most churches I've been to, church "work" days include things like gardening. Any other work is done by someone who receives money for their time and labor.

Kind of alarming that the people would be wearing those surgical masks, since knowing the Co$, flimsy little masks like that would only be handed out when HazMat suits would be the appropriate thing...

I had family that literally came within 100 feet of being wiped out by recent tornadoes in the Midwest. The church and rectory and other buildings down the street not so lucky. Family, neighbors and non members came to the rescue immediately to help. This church did Not charge any of them a penny for their "help". If they had, the entire community and state politicians would have been in an uproar as well as media.

As well, any hazardous conditions or work required by professionals would have been in place.

But then, Scientology is "special" and above all that, isn't it?

Head on a Pike: Scientology (glossary): A person's head removed and put on a pike (a weapon formerly used by foot soldiers consisting of a metal spearhead on a long wooden shaft). Used figuratively to mean an example of discipline.

I think we're on the same page here, Pikehead -- but I just want to be clear that I was talking about work church members do to enhance their own church. Naturally, they would NEVER charge other people for services when the members volunteered to help out someone else.

SICK SCIENTOLOGY--_TRULY SICK.

Tory/Magoo

Miscavige is a sadist. This is why he had all these people do this. Truly sickening.

If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem.
